US, China hold rare talks on nuclear arms control

WASHINGTON: The United States and China on Monday held rare talks on nuclear arms control, a new step to ease mistrust ahead of an expected presidential summit next week.
The talks -- the first meeting specifically on nuclear arms between the two powers since president Barack Obama administration -- come as the United States voices alarm over China growing nuclear arsenal.
No breakthroughs were expected at the one-day talks in Washington, which follow a visit by Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
